I had a cube once covered in stamps instead of an APL. I reported it because I couldn’t log it - they asked me to send a photo so they could follow it up,All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

IMHO if they wanted to change something out should have remove the prestamped parcels and made them all APLs instead - I find it much more awkward going to a PO to hand over something that has already been stamped - the sub post office staff certainly don't like it!
I've today received one of the sacks and a cube to send in it. The cube is already addressed and yet they have sent a printed address label rather than just the instruction about affixing the label to the insert. After tieing the bag it's ready to take to the PO. It says, "Make sure you take the Manifest along with your mail mag when you're going to the Post Office and post it before the last collection time." Nothing to say whether you are supposed to get the manifest back after signature by the Accepting Officer. Anybody know?I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Reimbursement was made in advance, was only a case would the extra for posting the item(s) be made. ( did) I had been expecting something to be said ( never did) this spanned years over different posting panel stints

I once had a warning for writing the date to post on the back of an envelope. Considering this is quite a reasonable thing to do, especially if like me you have birthday cards ready for posting, I was surprised and disappointed.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
